History & Background (Dossier)
The Solomani Confederation was founded in 871, when the government of the Solomani Autonomous Region reorganized itself in an attempt to strengthen its claims to the heritage of the old Terran Confederation.
- This gesture was ratified in the Charter for Confederation of the Free Solomani States.
- Although tantamount to a declaration of independence, the reorganization was officially ignored by the government of the Imperium, until the increasingly belligerent and extremist policies of the Solomani caused many border worlds under Solomani rule to petition the Imperium for redress.

Government & Politics (Leadership)
Representatives to the Secretariat are appointed by the governments of the individual districts.
- The number of representatives each district may appoint is determined according to that district's contribution to the Solomani economy.
- A district typically consists of a single world, but low population worlds or depressed areas are combined into multi-world districts.
- In the case of a district such as this, an election is held to determine the representative from that district.
- These, however, are not elections in the normal sense; the governments vote, rather than the populace.
- Each government of such a district is allocated votes (again, according to its economic importance) which are used to elect a representative for that district.
Overview: 1116
The Solomani Confederation is a Confederation characterized by a low degree of governmental centralization that gives a high degree of sovereignty (freedom) to local (planetary) governments and sometimes suffers from a poor ability to create unified policy. The Solomani Confederation government is usually classified as a Confederation.
Internal Politics: 1116
Solomani Confederation Factionalism: Because of the greater degree of local autonomy that exists in the Solomani Confederation, interworld factionalism exists to a much greater degree than would be allowed in the Imperium. Coalitions of worlds exist outside the normal government channels, sometimes equalling them in importance within a given region.
- For example, the Near Boötes Cluster, in the Capella Subsector, dominates large portions of the adjacent subsectors, both economically and politically. Boötean mercantile interests heavily favor peaceful trade with the Imperium, and their influence with the Confederation government is considered to be the primary reason for the unofficial detente between the Confederation and the Imperium.
- Another example of this factionalism is the ongoing trade war between Kukulcan and the Thetis-Laputa Coalition. The war is causing severe damage to the economy of Kukulcan, but the Coalition has thus far been able to muster enough power to prevent effective intervention by the Confederation government.
Political Factions: 1116
Solomani Party Membership: All government officeholders and officials must be members of the official party, the Solomani Movement (alternately called the Solomani Party). Although formerly of great power and influence, the party is now weak, decentralized, and of little importance. Real power in the Confederation is held by the government and the factions.
- See Solomani Party and Solomani Movement for more information.

Government Structure: 1116
The structure of the government of the Solomani Confederation is largely based upon that of a venerated Terran institution once known as the United Nations, which had been an instrumental organization in helping balkanized Terra grow into a unified World-State.
- It is a cumbersome organization with an overgrown bureaucracy on one hand, but, on the other, it helped to channel the human spirit of its predecessor, the Terran Confederation, to overcome overwhelming odds and defeat a massively larger Ziru Sirka.
- For all of its faults and dark corners, the Solomani Confederation has accomplished some very impressive feats. The Confederation has extremely advanced biotechnology and is rapidly creating a new culture, based upon changing technologies. Some say that this new, evolving culture will be a post-human one, full of morphological freedoms and a post-scarcity economy previously unimagined...
A. Executive Branch: 1116
The Secretariat is presided over by the Secretary General, who is elected from its membership.
- The Secretary General is the chief administrative officer of the Solomani government, and while the office holds great power, it is fully accountable to the Secretariat.
- The branches of the Solomani Confederation's government took the names of the government of the Terran Confederation, but the present institutions have little resemblance to those of the past.
B. Legislative Branch: 1116
The chief governing body of the Solomani Confederation is the Secretariat.
C. Judicial Branch: 1116
The Interstellar Court of Justice (Cour Interstellar de Justice in French), commonly referred to as the Confederation Court or ICJ, is the primary judicial branch of the Solomani Confederation.
- Its main functions are to settle legal disputes submitted to it by member states and to provide advisory opinions on legal questions submitted to it by the Secretariat, by duly authorized international branches, by agencies, and by the General Assembly.
D. Bureaucracy: 1116
The General Assembly is a representative and legislative institution without real power and merely serves as a forum for debate among the representatives of both major and minor nations.
E. Military: 1116
The military of this polity is subordinate to the legislative branch (civil governance) of this polity.
- However, many posit that a troika of power exist between three Solomani institutions:
- The Solomani Party
- The Solomani Intelligence Agency, SolSec
- The Solomani Navy, SolNav
It is difficult for outside observers to truly distinguish the hidden power structure of the Confederation.
Military & Intelligence (Force Projection)
The Solomani maintain a large and potent military composed of an army, navy, marines, Home Guard, and policing (paramilitary) forces.
- While the Solomani is a confederation of member-states, each of which maintain their own military, the largest and potent military is maintained by the Terrans.
A. Ground Forces: 1116
- Solomani Army (SolArm)
- Solomani Navy (SolNav)
- Solomani Marines (SolMar)
C. Special Forces: 1116
- Solomani Special Operation Command (SolSpec)
- Blue Helmets
D. Paramilitary Forces: 1116
- Solomani Homeguard (SolHomGa)
